[0004] In the production line, workers need to detect a large number of engine cylinder heads. Since the detection device in the above solution is not on the same production line as the conveyor belt for transporting the engine cylinder block, this leads to the need to move the engine cylinder head on the conveyor belt to the workbench of the detection device for detection, and it also needs to be moved away after the detection is completed, resulting in a significant reduction in production efficiency when detecting a large number of engine cylinder heads. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a fixture for machining engine cylinder heads, which has the characteristics that the engine cylinder block can be directly detected on the production line during the conveying process, and by holding and fixing the engine cylinder head and then lifting it off the conveyor belt, it can avoid shaking and causing errors in subsequent detection, thereby affecting the detection accuracy.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions: A fixture for machining engine cylinder heads includes a base, a micrometer, a vertical frame, and a three-axis linear guide rail.

[0017] Beneficial effects

[0018] The utility model provides a jig for machining an engine cylinder head. Compared with the prior art, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0019] (1) The engine cylinder head is transported to the inspection conveyor through the feeding conveyor, and the engine cylinder head is fixed and raised by the feeding conveyor, and then the micrometer is driven by the three-axis linear guide to inspect the fixed engine cylinder head. After the inspection is completed, the engine cylinder head is lowered to the inspection conveyor and released. The engine cylinder head is then transported to the discharging conveyor through the inspection conveyor and then transported to the next process. The engine cylinder body can be directly inspected on the production line during the transportation process, avoiding the need to remove the engine cylinder head from the conveyor separately for inspection, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0020] (2) When the engine cylinder head is being inspected, the lifting mechanism is used to lift it off the inspection conveyor belt to avoid placing the engine cylinder head directly on the inspection conveyor belt during inspection, which may cause unstable placement. In addition, since the engine cylinder head is fixed by the positioning mechanism before being lifted, it is also avoided that it shakes during the inspection process after being lifted, which may affect the inspection accuracy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model.

Lifting mechanisms 2 for lifting during the inspection of the engine cylinder head are provided at both the front and rear ends of the base 1. A positioning mechanism 3 for positioning during the inspection of the engine cylinder head is provided on the lifting mechanism 2. The positioning mechanism 3 includes:

[0028] A fixing component 31, a frame body 311 provided at the top of the lifting mechanism 2, sliding rods 312 slidably installed on both sides inside the frame body 311, and positioning heads 313 fixedly installed at the ends of the sliding rods 312 for fixing the engine cylinder head;

[0029] A driving component 32, a double-sided inclined block 321 provided inside the sliding rod 312 of the frame body for driving the sliding rod 312, a second connecting rod 322 provided inside the frame body 311 for synchronously driving the two double-sided inclined blocks 321 on both sides, and a first cylinder 323 installed at one end of the frame body 311 for driving the second connecting rod 322;

[0030] In this implementation, the output end of the first cylinder 323 drives the second connecting rod 322 to drive the double-sided inclined block 321. The double-sided inclined block 321 drives the sliding rod 312 to slide along the inside of the frame body 311. At the same time, the sliding rod 312 drives the positioning head 313 to move horizontally. By moving the two positioning heads 313 on both sides towards the engine cylinder head at the same time, the engine cylinder head can be held and fixed by the two positioning heads 313 on both sides, avoiding shaking and causing errors during subsequent inspections.

[0031] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 2 includes:

[0032] Fixed seats 21 fixed at both the front and rear ends of the base 1, with a bracket 22 provided above the fixed seats 21. A longitudinal inclined block 23 fixedly installed at the central position of the bottom of the bracket 22 and longitudinally slidably installed inside the bracket 22. A transverse inclined block 24 for driving the longitudinal inclined block 23 is slidably installed horizontally inside the bracket 22. A first connecting rod 25 for driving the two transverse inclined blocks 24 to move synchronously is slidably installed between the two fixed seats 21. A second cylinder 11 is installed at the front end of the fixed seat 21, and the output end of the second cylinder 11 is connected to the first connecting rod 25. Guide rods 26 fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the bracket 22 for guiding the lifting of the bracket 22;

[0033] In this embodiment, after the engine cylinder head is fixed by the positioning mechanisms 3 on both sides, the first connecting rod 25 is driven by the output end of the second cylinder 11 to drive the transverse inclined block 24 to slide laterally along the inside of the fixed seat 21. At the same time, the transverse inclined block 24 pushes the longitudinal inclined block 23 and drives the bracket 22 to rise and fall with the cooperation of the guide rod 26, so that the engine cylinder head fixed by the positioning mechanism 3 on the bracket 22 can be raised and lowered slightly, so that the engine cylinder head is lifted upward and separated from the detection conveyor belt 8 during detection, thereby avoiding the engine cylinder head being directly placed on the detection conveyor belt 8 during detection, which is easy to cause shaking and affect the detection accuracy.

[0034] Specifically, a workbench 4 is provided below the base 1, a detection conveyor belt 8 for conveying the engine cylinder head is installed on the top of the workbench 4, a feed conveyor belt 6 and a discharge conveyor belt 7 for conveying the engine cylinder head are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the workbench 4, a stand 9 is fixedly installed at the top rear end of the base 1, and a three-axis linear guide 10 is installed on the stand 9, and a micrometer 5 for detecting the engine cylinder head is provided on the three-axis linear guide 10;

[0035] In this embodiment, the engine cylinder head is transported to the inspection conveyor 8 via the feed conveyor 6, and the engine cylinder head is fixed and lifted by 2 and 3, and then the micrometer 5 is driven by the three-axis linear guide 10 to inspect the fixed engine cylinder head. After the inspection is completed, the engine cylinder head is lowered to the inspection conveyor 8 and released, and then the engine cylinder head is transported to the discharge conveyor 7 via the inspection conveyor 8 and then transported to the next process.

[0036] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 2 also includes:

[0037] A groove 27 is provided at the middle position of the lower end of the longitudinal inclined block 23 and is used to prevent the first connecting rod 25 from interfering with the longitudinal inclined block 23 when moving;

[0038] In this embodiment, the longitudinal inclined block 23 can avoid motion interference with the first connecting rod 25 during the lifting process through the groove 27.

[0039] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: first, the engine cylinder head is transported to the detection conveyor belt 8 through the feeding conveyor belt 6, and then the second connecting rod 322 is driven by the output end of the first cylinder 323 to drive the double-sided inclined block 321, and the double-sided inclined block 321 drives the sliding rod 312 to slide along the inside of the frame 311, and at the same time, the sliding rod 312 drives the positioning head 313 to move horizontally, and the positioning heads 313 on both sides move toward the engine cylinder head at the same time, so that the engine cylinder head can be dragged and fixed by the two positioning heads 313 on both sides, so as to avoid shaking and causing errors in subsequent detection; then, the first connecting rod 25 is driven by the output end of the second cylinder 11 to drive the transverse inclined block 24 along the fixing seat 21 , and the horizontal inclined block 24 pushes the longitudinal inclined block 23 and drives the bracket 22 to rise and fall with the cooperation of the guide rod 26, so that the engine cylinder head fixed by the positioning mechanism 3 on the bracket 22 can be lifted and lowered slightly, so that the engine cylinder head is lifted up and separated from the detection conveyor belt 8 during detection, so as to avoid the engine cylinder head being directly placed on the detection conveyor belt 8 during detection, which is easy to cause shaking and affect the detection accuracy; finally, the micrometer 5 is driven by the three-axis linear guide 10 to detect the fixed engine cylinder head. After the detection is completed, the engine cylinder head is lowered onto the detection conveyor belt 8 and released, and then the engine cylinder head is transported to the discharge conveyor belt 7 through the detection conveyor belt 8 and then transported to the next process.
